Three Sketches: Dancer and Two Women 

This is a sketch by the French artist Jean-Louis Forain (1852-1931) featuring three figures: a dancer, a woman with a hat, and the head of a woman looking up. The minimalist style of this piece is typical of Forain’s sketches, where he used simple lines to capture the essence of his subjects. The artist is known for his satirical cartoons and drawings, often capturing the absurdity of modern life in Paris. While this work is a simple sketch, it is a powerful example of the artist's ability to express movement, expression, and character with very few lines.
